Decisions...Decisions....I finally made one!

I have been going to school online for almost 2 years and have truly enjoyed it but it occured to me recently that I am not doing what I would like to be doing, which is nursing. After some researching and some serious headaches I have decided that when I finish with my Associates this summer I will leave the University and work towards my nursing degree instead of continuing on with my Bachelors.
I found that the community college offers a CNA and PCA + program which would allow me to work in hospitals and such, during my schooling I would get experience in a nursing home and an area hospital.
I am beyond excited I have wanted to go into nursing for so long and this is the beginning eventually I would like to become an RN but that is a few years down the road.
If everything goes the way I would like it to I will get into the summer program but that is all dependent on how quickly the class fills there are only 10 spaces left otherwise I will be in the fall...which is cool too!!!
I am so excited....yeahhhh...things seem to be falling into place...finally!!!

Gracelynn

First off let me say we are not obssessed with Elvis or Graceland in fact I do not even like Elvis...So No we did not name our daughter after him we just liked the name.

With that said...

Our third little blessing Gracelynn Dorianne Ruth Edeltraud Hutt was born on January 6, 2010 she is absolutly beautiful. With the possibility that Grace is our last we decided we wanted her name to have some meaning. Dorianne is a blend of my mom and Dan's mom..Doris and Annette, Ruth is Dan's grandma and Edeltraud is my grandma....
So not only is she perfect in everyway she is named after 4 amazing women and she will be blessed to grow up and be like them!!!


To move or Not to move....

Okay so back in September we decided to move to Arkansas in the hopes that things would get better for us, a new start and I was excited because I always wanted to get away from Utah. I learned a few things fairly quickly first off moving sucks even more so when its across state lines and secondly attempting to turn a 3 to 4 day drive into a 2 day drive with 2 kids is soooo not fun!
But we made it and thanks to my amazing in-laws and sis-in-law we had an apartment all set up for us when we got here. In the spontaneous decision to move we also decided to come down with only what we could fit in the car (stupid idea) so our household was put into storage. We had hoped finding a job would be a simple task but it wasn't so we were highly dependant on family then I started missing my mom and grandma. So now we have a very emotional pregnant woman who has never moved away from family living across the country...suffice it to say I wasn't the happiest person and moving back was all I could think about I do not think I had cried so much in my life.
I was struggling to find reasons to stay nothing had changed we were not doing any better and then to make matters worse we ended up loosing everything we owned, so now we have to literally start from scratch, the deicsion was made we would move back to Utah in June.
So what has changed? Dan has a good job with a good company, Hannah is doing amazingly well in school (love the schools Utah should take some notes), we found a doctor that actually knows what she is doing and it is actually a very nice place to live. I still miss my mom and grandma more then anything but I am starting to think maybe we should stay.
I wish I could know for certain what is the right thing to do for my family, Dan is willing to go along with what I decide but I know he really likes it here so the decision falls to me...Do we stay or do we go?

I'm Blogging

So I have decided to start blogging...I couldn't see the point before because I had nothing to say but now so much has been going on and so many things have changed that I think the only logical thing to do is to whine about it to all of you!!!
Enjoy!
